In the early morning, Luo Bo sold breakfast and went home early. Nina took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly, saying that she had not slept well all night. In fact, it was a check-up, but there was nothing we could do about it. Love was always selfish. Now Nina was more worried that Robo would cheat outside than when she gave birth to the child. Then he found that Luo Bo's clothes had not been changed, and there was no smell of alcohol, other perfumes, or strong cologne, or gunpowder, only the smell of her usual perfume, and he was satisfied. The two got tired of each other for a while. Nina went to accompany her son, who was not yet old enough to go to kindergarten, while Robo continued to work in the tool room. Labor is expensive in the lighthouse country, which leads to many families who are going through life. The men have good hands-on skills and have large or small tool rooms. Kane's tool room is not serious. It is more appropriate to call it a crime tool room. Luo Bo didn't mind learning more skills, as he might be able to rely on them to solve problems or even save lives. But Luo Bo was very concerned about piling up these utensils at home that would be difficult to explain once they were checked. Although California is not rich in rust belts, there is no shortage of shabby houses. Given the business Kane is engaged in, it is normal to prepare safe houses, shelters, and secret training facilities for himself.
He really accepted Kane's stupidity and laziness. Maybe most people in the Lighthouse country are like this? On the second and third days, there was good news one after another. One was that the Jaguar XJ220 was sold, and the other was that the balance of the previous robbery had been received. After paying off the money owed to Victor, he still had more than half a million dollars on hand. In this era, an annual income of RMB 50,000 (after tax) is the red line for the lower middle class (accounting for approximately 32%). The red line for the upper middle class is 100,000 yuan (accounting for about 15%), and those with an annual income of 500,000 yuan, even for the upper class, only account for a few percent. This shows what kind of money more than half a million dollars is. However, considering that this was a pawnbroker's pawn and that he had to sacrifice his life to get it, he couldn't say that he was happy and couldn't sleep at night. "I transferred five hundred thousand, and the account is in the Cayman Islands, under your name. This is a divorce agreement, which was processed through a special channel. I have signed it. As long as you sign it and hand it over, It will take effect within twenty-four hours, even if it’s a holiday.” Nina suddenly became anxious and asked with concern: "What happened." "It hasn't happened yet, or it may be happening, but I haven't found out yet. In short, the rumors are wrong, so be prepared. This is the basic guarantee I leave for you and Mike. In fact, it is best to leave now to avoid old scores being opened. Revealing old scores may not put Zheng Zhengdang in jail, but it may result in the loss of custody. " Nina pouted and was about to cry: "You don't want us two anymore?" Luo Bo laughed: "Even if you are worried, it should be me who is worried. Why don't you just take the money and run away, find a wild man to sleep with my wife and beat my baby? Why are you worried instead?" "Fuck you!" Nina scolded Rob for his indiscriminate words. Luo Bo chuckled: "What I said is true. Do you think a middle-aged uncle like me, if he doesn't care about money, can still get along with a girl who is more beautiful and has a better figure than you? " Nina rolled her eyes at Rob and was coaxed. But soon he began to worry about Rob's situation. Robbo gave Nina another 20,000 yuan for household expenses and said: "It's just hazy now, it may rain, it may clear up. But it's always right to plan ahead, so as not to be blind and stupid when it really rains. For our son." This last sentence was very effective. Nina looked serious and nodded. Then he said: "Kane, I love you!" "I love you too!" In fact, Luo Bo didn't like to say such disgusting words. But he knew that this type of talk was useful in coaxing women, and he didn't forget to role-play.
Maybe in the future, he can step out of the shadow of Kane's character and live completely as his own persona, but at least for now, he still has to act. Of course, acting depends on the situation. For example, playing cards is very tiring to perform, but it is also fun. But later that day, the bad news came: Sean had died. After Rob hung up the phone, he said to Nina: "Mail the divorce agreement and fill in the return address to your mother's house. You can fly to Houston now, but don't go back to your mother directly until they collect the divorce papers. "Legal Documents." Nina panicked: "Is the situation already so critical?" "Calm, decisive, quick, for Mike." "Okay, okay!" Nina packed her luggage, while Rob called to book a flight, and then helped pack his son Mike's luggage. More than 20 minutes later, he watched Nina drive to the airport. Afterwards, he returned home, took a garbage bag and started combing through it, from the bedroom to the living room, from the bathroom to the utility room, leaving nothing behind. Finally, he took the emergency package he had prepared in advance from the tool shed, put it in the car with the garbage bag, and drove away. Halfway through, I found a more remote place and threw three large bags of garbage into the trash can. Then I drove to a parking lot and stole a half-new Ford Thunderbird from there. Living in a lighthouse country, in order to be low-key and practical, it is natural to steal locally made products that are not old and are in large quantities. The Thunderbird produced in 1990 has an unpretentious appearance, is not expensive, and has a decent base, which is just right. The skill of stealing cars naturally comes from Kane. A veteran car thief, Kane's first trip to jail was for car theft. Theoretically, it might be a good choice for him to follow the inmate's motto at this time and walk away in anonymity. Is it estimated that he can live safely for another thirty years? But when he thought of the life that was worse than that of an illegal resident, he felt that it was enough. This might be considered as a kind of difficulty in going from luxury to frugality, right? Perhaps it was also the influence of the evil fire accumulated before the time travel. Before the time travel, he was a salted fish, and after the time travel, he had to be a stinky salted fish. I couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand it. If this matter is not sorted out, even if he successfully leaves his hometown, he will inevitably be confused and worried for the rest of his life... As night fell, Victor, exhausted physically and mentally, returned home alone. When he entered the door, he saw that the warning objects he had set up had been moved. He immediately took out his gun alertly and sneaked into the house. It was not until he saw Robo lying on the sofa with a big horse and a golden knife from the outside light that he breathed a sigh of relief. While putting away the gun, he said, "Don't you turn on the lights?" Robo said, "From an outsider's perspective, it's best if the owner of this house is not at home." Victor nodded, tilted his head and made a "let's go, let's talk about it in another place" gesture, and then took Robo to the basement. The door to the basement is more private, and Rob doesn't have a key. Victor calmed down, made some refreshing coffee, handed it to Rob, and said: "After receiving the call from me before, you should have flown away." "I thought about it, but the more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable. Even if we leave, we can't just leave in disgrace. If a lion loses its majesty, wild dogs will dare to show their teeth when they see it." Victor smiled: "But at least we can still live."
"If you can be satisfied with just living in a miserable way, then you should have chosen a remote place six years ago, found a job as a handyman, and enjoyed the rest of your life." "Yeah, it's been six years." Victor sighed, and asked: "Do you know what the average life expectancy is for people like us?" "Like a homeless person, three to five?" Victor pouted and nodded: "About the same." Robo said: "I overheard someone People say we are ruthless and top-notch in the underworld." "Do you believe this? You believe it after a few compliments, and you don't care about your life?" Robo said in a deep voice: "I just want to know the whole story. If it's not our fault, then even if we stop and run away, we must ensure that we are decent. Without this halo, I am worried that I will die at the hands of bad guys." "Then what about Nina? What about Mike?" "Divorced, the latest money I got was also given to them." Victor nodded, drank a few sips of coffee, his expression gradually became gloomy, and he said grimly: "Well, after all, we are still brothers, just like when we just got out of prison." Robo knew that Victor had a painful experience in prison, being beaten up and raped, so that he had to rely on adult urine for a period of time. So Victor never mentioned the prison, even if it was related. Now saying this means going back to the barefoot state of "either five pots of food or no pots of cooking" when he just got out of prison. As for "we are still brothers after all", it refers to the fact that when the robbery started, the fixed personnel were Victor and Kane, the old brother and the young brother. "Don't worry, boss, I will watch your back." This is what Victor said at the beginning: watch my back. Next, Victor said that he needed a good meal and a good sleep. He hadn't slept well for several days. Robo had no objection. He was not energetic and his performance was not up to par. Many famous people in the underworld seemed to have capsized in the gutter, but were actually killed by exhaustion, especially those lone wolves. If they made a mistake, they might fall into a vicious cycle and die. At this time, Victor's good meal was naturally not to go to a Michelin restaurant, but just to eat comfortably and full. A barbecue restaurant above the standard could meet the requirements. Robo asked for a few more portions, and he even brought a vacuum sealer. Victor was stunned when he knew about it, and then said with satisfaction that Robbo's state had returned. It must be said that after several successful robberies and with money in hand, the members of this small gang began to decline in will and body. This is also the reason why James, a temporary member, was hired in the last operation. This gang needs brave fighters. Victor is over 40, and Sean and Mario are also in their 30s, with families to support and small bellies. If there is no one who can fight, it is easy to fail in a situation. Victor's intention is actually to recruit someone of similar age to Kane, and then do a few more orders, then Sean and Mario will withdraw, and he will also shift his focus from going to the front line to planning behind the scenes. As for why Victor, who has always been single and never spends lavishly, is not satisfied with the money he earns, Rob's analysis is that this person probably always remembers the humiliation he suffered in prison, and the money is used to plan revenge. You can't live without being crazy. According to Robo's understanding, the essence of madness is extreme stubbornness. Most people who can do this are petty. Those who don't care about anything and can live a carefree life often lack motivation to make progress. Petty people are more likely to hold back and persevere. Judging from Victor's past performance, this person is not stingy. On the contrary, he has a good personality and is willing to spend money and emotions. Therefore, this gang of four is united enough, instead of the normal state of friends with their own ulterior motives.
So, what makes Victor have an extreme and stubborn side? Robo believes that it is the painful experience in prison. He wanted to ride a horse, but found that even with Viagra to help him, the gun was not very useful. Every time, it was a reminder and spur... In a suburban motel that does not require ID registration, Victor fell asleep and snored a little soon. Robo stood in front of the window, looking at the night view across the aisle and guardrail. His mind was not on the scenery, but on his golden finger and the chosen life path. To be honest, he was a little surprised that he finally chose to wade into the muddy water at this time. He did have the thought of "If I can do this and that one day, I will change my way of life!" But he knew that this kind of "if" was just wishful thinking. Not to mention that it did not have the "cause" to be realized, even if it really had it, it would probably be like Ye Gong's love for dragons. However, the facts proved that this was not the case. He was not Ye Gong, but really had the courage to take such a dangerous road. The confidence given by the golden finger? The retaliatory rebound caused by long-term repression? It was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality after making quick money? He felt that it seemed to be a little bit of both. But the most important thing was that he actually liked this kind of life from the bottom of his heart. That was the reason for the surprise. It turned out that he was a wolf. I really didn't realize that I was such a person before. His ordinary life in the past made him think that although he was not a salted fish, he was not a brave man who dared to gamble and take risks. The bolder the person, the more productive the land. This statement is not suitable for him, but it is more like the other way around. Try not to wrong yourself, but you should also save some, not borrow or lend, not envy or be jealous, and live as much as you can. Now that he is in this situation, his other side is activated. He once doubted whether he was influenced by Kane, the original owner of the body. After careful analysis, it is really different. Kane does not like this livelihood, but is just used to it, used to this exciting way of making money. Kane's hobbies are cars and guns. As for gambling, it is also a habit. At first, it was to kill time, and then he became addicted to the excitement of winning or losing in an instant.
Later, the excitement of gambling was used to eliminate the excitement of robbery and even killing. This is very similar to many battlefield hyenas. It can be said to be a kind of venting, or it can be said that after getting used to the excitement, the dull daily life becomes boring and unbearable. Rob found that he was not like this. He had no love for seeking excitement and did not pursue a luxurious life. He felt that the middle-class life that Kane and Nina usually lived was a bit luxurious. If it were him, his quality of life would be greatly reduced. He felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in clothing, food, housing, and travel. He did not have much curiosity. For example, he was not very interested in knowing what was going on behind the recent actions that caused a series of disasters. Of course, he wanted to know, but not to satisfy his curiosity, but to survive better. He found that what he cared about more was actually power. Perhaps it was because he had never obtained a decent power that met his definition before, because he had never discovered that his true self was actually a power lover. After crossing over, he had a golden finger, which activated this nature. Most people pursue power and almost instinctively obey power, including awe and tolerance of the strong. But his kind seems to be much more obsessed than ordinary pursuits. He was intoxicated by the power he gained from digging out the golden finger, and he had a strong desire to use this power in reality to solve problems. In short, his mentality was very inflated. But he was calm. He knew what kind of danger his choice would face, but he felt that he could accept it happily. The only uncertainty now was whether he was hard-mouthed or hard-hearted... →
